While it is possible that you could be pregnant, your risk is low. Wait until you are at least a week late for your period to perform a pregnancy test. If it is negative, repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or a positive test result.

In the meantime, either abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms. You may want to consider starting a hormonal method of birth control like the pill or the shot. When used correctly, these methods are 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. If you live near one of our offices, please call us for an appointment. We can talk with you about all of your contraceptive options and help you choose one that is best for you. If you live further away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you.
